Short Description:

Swamp Ash Snap with VA7.2 Pickups and Compound Radius Precision.

What We Think:

The Anderson Icon Classic In-Distress is a beautifully aged, boutique S-style that blends vintage soul with modern precision. Its swamp ash body delivers lively resonance and snap, while the trio of VA7.2 pickups offer clear, dynamic tones with warmth, sparkle, and impressive balance. The caramel maple neck with a comfortable 50’s V profile and compound radius feels smooth and natural, making every note effortless and expressive. Finished in a tastefully aged TV White with subtle checking, it has a worn-in charm that feels instantly familiar. Lightweight, responsive, and thoughtfully designed, this Icon Classic is an inspiring performer and a lifelong companion!

Manufacturer Description:

Nowhere near a copycat of any kind, Icon lifts you on wings of unprecedented playability, tonality and resonance that are really astounding. Giant vintage tones resound beyond normal expectations and unlimited string bends abound—push ‘em as far as you can push—still ringing out. So truly satisfying to play! Yes, Icon is in production and it is magnificent. It is the no compromise vintage guitar. But Icon does it in a totally iconic way, and with no vintage compromises. Icon has the look but not the limited playability, so all the Anderson attributes are soundly intact with the vintage visual attractions of:

     • Full-sized S-style body silhouette

     • Top Jack

     • One rear strap button

So you could say: Icon looks just right and plays just right. And almost every Anderson option is available, as long as it does not alter the time-honored look. Another interesting aspect of Icon is that many are ordered with Satin Finishes. We have the smoothest Satin finishes in all the colors. But if your preference is a shimmering shine we have all those wonderful Gloss colors as well. What is the one color that you have always imagined yourself holding? And what is the best part of dreams? It is the moment you awaken to find that reality now exceeds them.
